Albert, decides to drive from Germany to Lyon, France –a trip following a recent period of stress and tension.  Along the way, Albert picks up a young hitch-hiker who becomes the focus of  his anger and frustration. Albert tells the young man about the good parts of his life and the various women he has loved and some of whom still have a place in his life.

But the young man vanishes.  Was he really there or was he really just a projection created by Albert’s mental state –a younger him? Certainly he seems to pop up quite a lot and seems far too relaxed about things!

A disturbing story in the form of existential road movie that will have you puzzling over the meaning and much more.

A rather nicely drawn book and, again, shows the variety of styles you can find in the European comic scene.
